Worth Watching Score

7.0

A low-drama Sunday at Montréal: Max Verstappen controlled the race from lights to flag, while the real intrigue was the strategic duel and on-track sparring between Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton for second. One Safety Car compressed the field and triggered early stops, shifting the focus to tyre life and execution. Despite 58 overtakes and two DNFs, most of the wheel-to-wheel action lived in the midfield, highlighted by a stubborn defensive stint that formed a lengthy DRS train. Worth a watch for the Alonso–Hamilton chess match and some gritty drives, but not essential if you’re chasing chaos.
